I went from a B to a D during my pregnancy and now that I'm 2 years done breastfeeding I'm barley a B I have a lot of excess skin, would I be able to get a lift and an implant? Or would I need a lift the come back for an implant? My dr. Told me women with sagging breast can't get that type of implant due to the breast poor structure because of the excess skin and sagging. Thanks for your tips.
Answer: Staged surgery I prefer to stage the operations doing the lift first, waiting for it to heal, the doing the breast augmentation.

Answer: Gummy Bear Implants The term gummy bear implant is widely used to describe a large variety of cohesive gel or silicone implants. The term first was applied to form stable implants which hold their tear drop shape. An example would be Allergan 410 implants. With the introduction of firmer cohesive gel implants such as Sientra, the term has been broadened by many physicians: See link belowIn terms of utility, any implant can function effectively in breast augmentation/breast lift procedures. Advantages of cohesive gel implants include: less rippling, perhaps longer life span of the implants, textured surfaces can reduce incidence of capsular contracture, and more natural feel.

Answer: Breast Augmentation or Lift If you have natural, deflated breasts from breast feeding you may be able to achieve a fuller, perkier look by augmenting your breasts with implants, tightening the skin with a lift, or some combination of the two. The first question is how big you want to be. If you are truly restoring lost volume and your nipples do not point towards the floor, you may be able to achieve your goals with the right implant placed using the right technique. Your board certified plastic surgeon should be able to help you understand what you can expect by examining your anatomy, the quality of your breast tissue, and utilising 3D imaging to simulate your results. Hope that helps!

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Lift If you need a lift, it does not matter what type of implant is used. You still need the lift component, and no implant can change that. Whether you can do them at the same time or not just depends on the level of lift needed and the size of the implant. The bigger the lift needed, the more difficult it is to get a good aesthetic result with a single stage surgery. As far as the actual type and style of implant, all silicone gel implants used these days are cohesive - it just varies with different levels, making the implants softer or firmer. The ones that are getting the most media attention these days are the anatomically shaped, textured silcione gel implants. However, these are not ideal implants for breast augmenation patients. They are more suited for breast reconstruction cases after breast cancer. I hope this helps.

Answer: Gummy bear implants While a cohesive or gummy bear implant may be the right implant for you, you'll likely still need a lift. The lift can be done at the same time as the implant or they can be staged - doing the lift first to get you a better shaped breast followed by an implant for a bigger breast. Gummy bear implants AREN"T THE SOLUTION TO ALL BREAST PROBLEMS they're just the newest spin on implants that haven't changed much in the last 40 years. Get a couple opinions then make an informed decision thats right for you. Good luck.
